If you love 'em in the morning with their eyes full of crust; if you love 'em at night with their hair full of rollers, chances are, you're in love. - Miles Davis

The first stage of love is when you are just meeting and are completely head over heels in love. You overlook all of their imperfections and think they are the absolute perfect person. You can't imagine anyone being any better than they are.

Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener. - Pauline Thomason

But as soon as your relationship reaches the next level and time has set in, you start to see all those little things that you had missed about the other person. It doesn't mean that you aren't in love with that person still; it just means that you are getting a good look at who they are. From this point, you have two choices. Love them as they are or call it quits, but since you are best friends before becoming partners, you can always remind them that by just simply sending quotes about friendship and taking a step back.

When that person is also your best friend and the one person you enjoy spending time with more than any other, the choice is simple. You choose to continue loving them even though they aren't exactly what you thought they were initially. You love them through their imperfections, and hopefully, they are doing the same for you.

Marriage is like vitamins: we supplement each other's minimum daily requirements. - Kathy Mohnke

When you are in love with your best friend, you are compatible with one another. That doesn't mean that you like all the same things and have all the same hobbies. But it does mean that you complement each other well. Your strengths cover their weaknesses and vice versa. They are for you what you truly need in your life, and you are the same for them.

Being a good husband is like being a stand-up comic. You need ten years before you can call yourself a beginner. - Jerry Seinfeld

Succeeding in romantic relationships is not easy. More than half of all marriages end in divorce, according to the American Psychological Association. And, a lot of people say that the hardest years are the second year and the seventh. Part of what makes relationships so hard is that as you progress through the stages of love, the initial excitement you felt goes away. You settle into a new normal that isn't always as enjoyable as those early days.

This leaves people feeling like they made a mistake. So, instead of toughing it out and figuring out how to make the best of it, they split. But what they don't understand is that things would get better if they just hung on a little longer. As you start to adjust to the new normal, you experience a new comfort level with each other that you don't have with anyone else.

The time that you invest in your relationship will pay off in the end.

What's the best way to have your husband remember your anniversary? Get married on his birthday. - Cindy Garner

A relationship has a lot of seriousness naturally built into them. That's why you have to add fun into it, and when you are in a relationship with your best friend, it makes this part a lot easier. Look for activities that the two of you enjoy together. Find things that make you both laugh. Look for ways to escape the seriousness of life for a bit so you can enjoy time together.

Always find a reason to laugh together.

A person in love partly becomes a poet, a composer, and the corniest person in the room. -Unknown

Love can be unexpected

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. - Erich Segal

Love can be an unexpected thing. When you talk about your partner being your best friend, many people think it means you met someone, fell in love with them, and grew into best friends, but it happens the other way for some couples. They are best friends first, and then love blossoms.

"Real happiness is mostly felt by people who married their best friend." - Unknown

"Best friends going into a relationship is not much of a surprise anymore, because most relationships begin as friendships and grow into something more meaningful." - Unknown

"The strongest relationship is the one that started as friendship first." - Unknown

"It is more fun to be in love with your best friend because no matter what a mess you are, they just would not care." - Unknown

It makes sense that marrying your best friend would be the easiest way to do it. It's someone that you know you like. The two of you get along well, and they are already the shoulder you cry on and the person you turn to for support or to have a good time.

A word of warning

If you feel that you are falling in love with your best friend, you want to approach it carefully. The last thing you want is to show that you are interested in a romantic way and not have your best friend return the feelings. ; still could result in you losing both your best friend and the person you are falling in love with.

But don't let the fear hold you back either. You don't want to avoid ever saying anything and then watch your friends continue to live their own life including dating others. There are many advantages to being in a relationship with your best friend; you have to weigh the pros and cons of moving forward.
